JJ and May come from two poor rural families in Mashan County and were taken care by their relatives while parents work in the city to support the families. They suffer from cerebral palsy. The condition renders them with stiff knees and tip-toeing, which hinders their walking. Clare assessed JJ and May in Nanning and gave recommendations on the design of the AFO which would enables them to learn standing and walking. The Foundation paid for the cost of the AFO and the travelling expenses for JJ and May to come to Nanning for casting and fitting of the AFO. They continued their rehabilitation at Mashan County.
